notes:
Raddi, a Tuscan botanist, went to Brazil in 1817 under the patronage of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in the Austrian mission with Johann Baptist von Spix, Karl Friedrich Philipp von Martius, Johann Baptist Emanuel Pohl, and other scientists. He visited the environs of Rio de Janeiro and probably made other short journeys before returning to Italy. Figure 1 may be Leptogium azureum. Figure 3 may be Polytrichadelphus semi-angulatus, a type of moss. Figure 4 is probably Anthoceros brasiliensis Raddi, a type of hornwort. Image title from list of plates.
